He invited the shah's brother, Prince Abdol Reza Pahlavi, who was an avid hunter, to Israel's Negev Desert to hunt the rare Nubian ibex, a desert-dwelling mountain goat found in few places outside Israel.

It's funny. Those Israelis

It's funny. Those Israelis and their myth making. First it was an Iranian donkey they imported for purposes of recreating, now it's a deer. 

The future? Where Iran created a formal Islamic Republic, now these folks of east European extraction are bent on creating a formal Jewish Republic.
